If you told me the Red Sox would have a losing record for the first 39 games of the season, I would have rather put my money on Charlie Sheen getting his job back. If anything, most of us would have picked them to have the best record in baseball. After all, most fans and media had them pegged for a 100+ win season. I, on the other hand, was spotted stating my prediction on the local news on Op...

Monday the Red Sox looked to extend their first winning streak of the season against the Toronto Blue Jays. Could they make three in row? Patriots Day in Boston is one of the most exciting days of the year with the Boston Marathon and Red Sox game happening simultaneously. Boston is filled with optimism that day, whether it's for the thousands of runners trying to finish the marathon or for ...

What Happened
The weekend at Fenway Park kept getting progressively worse for the Blue Jays (7-9), who started off with a promising 7-6 win on Friday night, only to be outscored 21-3 over the rest of the four-game series. Each of Josh Beckett, Jon Lester and Daisuke Matsuzaka shut down Toronto for Boston’s first win streak of the season.

Yes, I have been MIA the past two weeks, but I came back to town just in time to witness Daniel Nava make history at Fenway this past Saturday.
The day got off to a lousy start. It was rainy and I walked into Fenway only to see Scott Atchison on the mound. I did a double-take. Where was Dice K? Evidently he was a last minute scratch due to a forearm strain suffered in warm-ups forcing him back...

Brace yourself for a long one folks. It has been way too long since my last blog. May is in the books and Red Sox Nation is feeling good. The Red Sox have done a complete 180 in the month of May. They are not out of the woods yet but they are on the right path. We don't need to be reminded of how disappointing April was, but let's do it anyway.
April: 11-12, 103 runs, .259 avg, 27 HR, .262 Opp ...

Daisuke Matsuzaka has been an absolute mystery this year. He had another shaky performance last Monday against the Yankees because of his signature “bad inning.” Last night in Philadelphia, not only did he escape having a bad inning, but he took a no-hitter into the 8th inning and the Red Sox won 5-0. One game he gives up four runs before even recording an out and the next he is pit...

The Red Sox are in the middle of a 13-day stretch in which they play 11 games on the road. Monday they stopped in New York for a quick 2 game series. Wait, “quick” is probably not the best choice of words when describing a Sox vs Yankee game.
The Daisuke Matsuzaku we all know and hate was back in action. He got our hopes up last week when he threw one of his best games as a Red Sox....

I was at the game last night and Daisuke Matsuzaka looked amazing. I have never seen him pitch so well. He avoided his typical “bad inning” that has plagued him most of his MLB career. This was the Dice K fans have been waiting for. He attacked the strike zone and was aggressive with his fastball. This was clearly one of his best performances in a Red Sox uniform. He pitched 7 innin...

After Thursday's victory over the LA Angels, the Red Sox improved their longest winning streak to 4 games and swept the Angels. They started hitting well, fielding well and pitching well. When you execute all three, you win games and that's what they did this week. Will it last? That is yet to be seen, but it is a step in the right direction.
Tuesday, Jon Lester followed up his solid performa...

Yesterday an underground pipe ruptured, cutting off drinking water to two million people in the Boston area. A “boil-water” order was put in effect. It gives new meaning to Red Sox fan's favorite song “Dirty Water,” by The Standells. If you have never been to Fenway Park, immediately following a Red Sox win, they play “Dirty Water.” I have been to five games ...

Firstly, I want to apologize for my lack of blogging. The Sox are a storied franchise and people NEED their Sox news. I’ve just been having some computer issues that will hopefully be fixed in the near future. I guess we’ll see if this blog gets posted or not. My fingers are crossed.
Now to baseball. Jed Lowrie had surgery on his wrist and he’s recovering nicely, but who else...
